Stresses for concrete elements under partial area strip loading are limited to 1.1-times the concrete compressive strength. In case of particularly small load application areas like at wall supports or segmental tunnel lining longitudinal joints this limitation may be governing the design. Additional load increases due to steel reinforcement confinement are not taken into account. This contribution presents various experimental series on large-scale reinforced concrete specimens conducted at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Ruhr University Bochum (RUB). It is shown that splitting reinforcements with stiff anchorage (e.g. welded ladders) show distinct load-bearing capacity increases. Moreover, disregarding the demand for geometric affinity of load application and distribution areas facilitates a more precise estimation of load increase factors. Based upon the experiments and supplemental data from literature, practical design approaches are derived. They distinguish between high-and low-deformation capabilities of the rebar anchorage and-to the most extent-allow pronouncedly increased contact pressures compared to current design approaches.

Vorwiegend ebene Lastausbreitungen aus Teilflächenpressung kommen vielfach im Stahlbetonbau vor. Beispiele sind schneidenartige Wandauflager im Hochbau oder Längsfugen bei Tübbings. Dabei ist die Kontaktpressung gemäß EC 2 [1, 2] (Druck-Druck-Knoten) auf die 1,1-fache Betondruckfestigkeit begrenzt, sodass solche lokalen Kontaktstellen häufig bemessungsrelevant für ganze Bauteile werden. Die Begrenzung entstammt weitgehend Versuchen an unbewehrtem Beton [3], bei denen die unbehinderte Querdehnung der dritten Raumrichtung nur geringe Laststeigerungen gegenüber der einachsigen Festigkeit erbringt. Hingegen ist bekannt, dass Bewehrungsumschnürungen mit dreiachsigen Druckspannungszuständen sich deutlich tragfähigkeitserhöhend auswirken. Dies wurde auch in Versuchen an Stahlbetonbauteilen mit vorwiegend ebenen Spannungszuständen nachgewiesen [4].
